Obama definitely does give that “I know what I’m talking about but I’m not arrogant” air. I’m still not sure how it’s gonna translate if it does at all. And @Frank, good call on the pirate. Conspiracy theories anyone?

Yummy, fresh turkey. I don’t understand how anyone could be a vegetarian.

That pirate looks like Obama. Was that his Halloween costume? I am surprised that the Russians didn’t kill every Somali they could find after they (the skinnies) hijacked a ship with a bunch of their tanks on it. On the bright side the Indian Navy, yes the Indian Navy, sank a pirate ship yesterday. Let’s send a few more to Davy Jones’ Locker. I’m hoping this pirate things drags on a few more years. I sense a career opportunity. No not as a pirate. If I wanted to be a pirate, I would have been a land pirate, oops I mean fireman.

@ LaPaix,

I just read the link. Interesting perspective, but I still don’t like it. We’ll see what happens. Then again, I’m pretty sure that Bubba wouldn’t have agreed to the extensive disclosures he’s made unless it was a done deal. He’d flip if he had to do it for nothing.

The Breaking News descriptions under the Palin footage are just hilarious!

Here is an interesting take on why Obama has made a good move in (possibly) naming Hillary as Sec of State:

I am against another war with anyone (for the time being.) I don’t even want a war with the Somali Pirates. So, in order to avoid war, since they have a mega-sized oil tanker in their little enclave, let’s just order up one cruise missile to make sure they don’t use the oil. I’d give the pirates at least a 10 minute warning before the strike, just to appease the folks who would complain if we didn’t.
